Long-term moorings in Wroxham

Moorings in Wroxham are on the River Bure in Norfolk, in the Norfolk Broads, with Hoveton on the other side of Wroxham Bridge. Long-term berths are in boatyard basins and small marinas on both banks. The bridge is low, so a boat's air draught decides whether it can be kept or cruised upstream of it.

Moorings in Wroxham

• Bridge Broad Marina: Landamores' moorings marina in Wroxham, just upstream of Wroxham Bridge and formerly Porter and Haylett. It is entered under its own low bridge and has a toilet and shower block, pump-out and water.
• Landamores, Hoveton: wet boatshed moorings and uncovered moorings at the Hoveton boatyard, and more at Brimbelow Road. The yard does lift-out and maintenance for Bridge Broad boats too.
• Barnes Brinkcraft: a marina just off the River Bure in Wroxham. The Yacht Harbour Association lists it with permanent moorings, each with water and electricity.
• Broads Authority 24-hour moorings: Hoveton Viaduct Moorings (315m, double alongside) and Hoveton St John (61m, stern on, with a charging point). Both are free and for short stays only.

On the water

The Broads Authority is the navigation authority. A boat kept in its navigation area or adjacent waters for more than 28 days in a tolls year needs an annual toll, and adjacent waters include marinas and dykes. Owners also need third party insurance and a valid Boat Safety Scheme certificate.

• Wroxham Bridge: an arched road bridge with 2.18m (7ft 2in) of clearance at the centre at average high water, and 8m wide. The Broads Authority says to check the gauge board on every passage.
• Hoveton Viaduct Bridge: the fixed rail bridge, with 4.83m of clearance at average high water.
• Bridge pilot: Norfolk Broads Direct runs the pilot at Wroxham Bridge. The Broads Authority says the 2026 service, from 28 March to the end of October, is for hire boats only, though the pilot will advise private boats.
• Water levels: tides and rainfall change the clearance. In February 2025 Norfolk Broads Direct said high water was making the bridge impassable more often, and cut the pilot service back.

Getting there and around

Landamores describes Wroxham as having bus and train links to Norwich, North Walsham and Cromer, and Bridge Broad Marina as a short walk from the shops in Hoveton.
